Loretto's biggest threat to score came in the bottom of the 5th when Wesley Gobble led off with a double and Ben Wiseman walked, but Stephen Huff then struck out the next three Loretto batters to end the inning.

 

Loretto ends their season with an overall record of 23-6 and Ezell-Harding improves their overall record to 22-6 and advances to the Region 5-AA Final against the winner of David Lipscomb/Marshall Co. who will play tomorrow as their game was postponed due to rain.

 

Thanks to all the people from Loretto for treating me well during my many trips down there last week and today. Good luck to their seniors in their future endeavors as they turn the page on their high school lives. See the rest of you next season.

Sounds like a tough game for Loretto. I was hoping to see them move on to hopefully have a rematch with Marshall County who plays Tuesday at 4:00 @ David Lipscomb. Even though I couldn't stand Loretto on the field, I know its got to be tough for a team with such high expectations.

It was a tough loss indeed for Loretto, Liger711. Ezell's Pitcher Stephen Huff really had a good night as the Loretto batters just couldn't catch up with his speed. Loretto only hit 3 balls to the outfield - Wesley Gobble's double to RF and his fly ball out to CF and Heath Daniels' F9. Ezell hit 4 balls to the outfield - Matt Bobo's double to LC and fly ball out to RF, Derek Harrington's single to RF, and Taylor Trumphour's single to CF. Without the Loretto miscues (K-PB, WP, and infield error), this game would have been 1-1. Loretto just couldn't get the hits when they had runners in scoring position.

It wasn't the ending that you wanted mustangs, but you have done things that no other team from Loretto has done before. Everyone is proud of you and your accomplishments. Good Luck to the seniors (Lamm, Wiseman, Hoffmeyer, Kizer, Cox, Newton) and to you underclassmen for next season. Keep a new tradition alive.
